Power BI shared datasets - sharing a report to another workspace

[Jano]

Hi there!

I'm really excited for the newest feature of shared datasets.

But I'm having trouble getting started here.

I'm the only BI person in my company, so I created a master PBIX file in an "admin" workspace.

Now I want to create reports for each of the departments, using that same PBIX file where I'm defining the common data model for my company.

I just tried this with a simple report build via "get data -> from dataset" to make another PBIX file directly connected to the master file and want to publish it to another already created workspace for department X.

But when publishing I cannot choose between workspaces - my only option is to publish that report to the same workspace my master PBIX is in.

So, what I'm missing to make this work?

Is there any connection configuration or something similar I need to implement between the workspaces I want to use shared datasets?

I hope you guys can help me with this!

Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend!

Greetings,

Jano

I found out the issue!

It only works with the new workspaces!
Workspaces created before March or April update still have the old functions and the migration possibility is not there yet.
So if you create new workspace and publish the shared dataset, you are able to publish any reports created from that shared dataset to any other new workspace!

So there is no way to upgrade an old workspace so this functionality can work without having to create a new one?

Thanks

Didn't see it in recent updates aswell though..

Hi Janice,

Same issues ! Impossible to select other workspaces. So disappointing ....
